Putting together a delicious smoothie bowl is as easy as ABC, and a great opportunity to get creative with your fruits and food!

The process is really simple: all you have to do is throw all your smoothie ingredients into your blender, mix everything until the perfect consistency is achieved, put your smoothie into a bowl and decorate everything with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, grains etc. If your mixture is too thick you can add some plant milk, juice or a little bit of water.
